At least thatn what I know. I am sure there are people who know lots more about it. Report this Post to the Staff

Every coin struck by any given die will have the mintmark in the exact same place since the mintmark is in the die - not added to the individual coins. And yes, it is common for the mintmark to be very close to the digits of the date on Lincoln cents. Report this Post to the Staff
